NETWORK FINALS: Game 1 of THE WORLD SERIES adjusted up a full point to 3.9 (a much higher adjustment than 2016’s Game 1, possibly because LA is boosting west coast viewing this year), but that’s still down 1.7 from last year’s first game. Elsewhere, THIS IS US, FRESH OFF THE BOAT and KEVIN (PROBABLY) SAVES THE WORLD gained 0.1 in final numbers, while LAW & ORDER: TRUE CRIME lost the same.
